Recognized for its distinctive musical features and its connection
to periods of social innovation and ferment, the genre of
psychedelia has exerted long-term influence in many areas of
cultural production, including music, visual art, graphic design,
film, and literature. William Echard explores the historical
development of psychedelic music and its various stylistic
incarnations as a genre unique for its fusion of rock, soul, funk,
folk, and electronic music. Through the theory of musical
topics-highly conventional musical figures that signify broad
cultural concepts-and musical meaning, Echard traces the stylistic
evolution of psychedelia from its inception in the early 1960s,
with the Beatles' Rubber Soul and Revolver and the Kinks and Pink
Floyd, to the German experimental bands and psychedelic funk of the
1970s, with a special emphasis on Parliament/Funkadelic. He
concludes with a look at the 1980s and early 1990s, touching on the
free festival scene, rave culture, and neo-jam bands. Set against
the cultural backdrop of these decades, Echard's study of
psychedelia lays the groundwork and offers lessons for analyzing
the topic of popular music in the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries.
